When Binghamton gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop distinct debris onto Binghamton roofs throughout the changing year. Broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum trees drop spring oak catkins, heavy acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. Eastern white pine needles also settle into roof gutters. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling channels right before cold weather arrives. Freezing nights cause snow and trapped moisture to freeze, creating destructive ice dams in gutters during winter. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A spring cleaning clears oak catkins, while fall clearing prevents winter ice formation along your entire roofline.
